Definitions
- This invention concerns the field of catheters in general and refers in particular to a catheter assembly for therapeutic or diagnostic treatment and for introducing stents in bifurcated zones or vessels.
- catheters each comprising a flexible tubular body with a distal end, having at least one inflatable balloon and housing at least one longitudinal lumen for inflating a fluid in the balloon and other lumen for guide elements and/or further functional components are well known.
- a catheter may be made up of a main shaft with one or more branches, an elongated inflatable balloon on each branch and a guide wire passing lengthwise in each branch and respective balloon.
- a catheter with a structure as indicated is however open to improvement.
- One of the objectives of this invention is in fact to improve the structure of catheters with one or more bifurcations along a main shaft and in particular the configuration of the balloons to facilitate their adaptation and set up in the respective parts of the vessels they have to occupy during treatment.
- the objective of the invention is achieved by a catheter having two or more bifurcations at the distal end of a main shaft and an inflatable balloon associated with each branch, wherein a guide wire passes lengthways through each balloon, this guide wire exits the catheter at the height of the proximal end or at the height of the respective branch with balloon, for a rapid change of each wire in the proximal or distal parts of the catheter, and wherein at least one balloon has a proximal section narrowed with respect to its distal part.
- the proximal parts of the balloons on the bifurcated catheter When used, for example in angioplasty or stenosis of a duct or vessel with bifurcations, the proximal parts of the balloons on the bifurcated catheter usually fit into the trunk of the vessel to be treated near the point of bifurcation, remaining close to each other, whereas the distal part of each balloon fits into a relevant branch of the bifurcation of the trunk of the vessel.
- the trunk of a vessel is wider than each bifurcation branch and it can happen that the sum of the cross-sections of the bifurcation branches is greater than the cross-section of the trunk of the vessel. So, firstly the balloons must be calculated and be able to inflate in the section of the branch where they are required to expand.
- each balloon has the correct size in order to fit its distal part in the relevant bifurcation branch, it cannot be certain that the volumes of the proximal parts of the balloons which remain side by side inside the trunk of the vessel itself added together may be excessive and damage the vessel.
- the proximal part of at least one or each balloon according to the invention is narrowed in respect to the distal wall so that the side by side proximal parts of the contiguous balloons become compatible with the dimensions of the trunk of the vessel being treated.
- the proximal parts of the contiguous balloons may be housed inside a sleeve made of a limited expansion flexible or semi-flexible material compatible with the cross-section of the trunk of the vessel.
- the proximal ends of the balloons are compelled in the sleeve and when they dilate they are obliged to remain within its cross- section once it has reached maximum expansion. This condition enables above all the radial forces to be spread evenly along all the wall of the trunk of the vessel being treated.
- FIG. 1 is a view of an example of a catheter with a distal bifurcation with guide wires exiting from its proximal part;
- Fig. 2 is a view of a catheter with a similar distal bifurcation, but with guide wires exiting at the height of the bifurcations;
- Fig. 3 is a view of the catheter in Fig. 1 or 2 inserted into a vessel with a bifurcation;
- Fig. 4 is a view of an example of a catheter with three distal ramifications;
- Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8 are views of further different configurations of balloons for catheters according to the invention.
- Fig. 9 is a view of the ends of two balloons of a bifurcated catheter.
- Fig. 10 is a view of a catheter with the proximal part of the balloons enclosed in a limiting expansion sleeve. Detailed description of the invention
- a catheter 11 is represented to be used, for example, in the treatment of coronary vessels having a main vessel trunk 12 which divides into at least two secondary branches 13, 14, -Figs.3 and 10.
- the catheter 11 is made up of a flexible tubular body which comprises a main shaft 15 having a proximal portion 16 connectable to an usual coupling or connector - not shown - and a distal portion 17 which divides into two secondary branches 18, 19, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or even three branches 18, 19 and 20, as shown in Fig. 4.
- Each of the two or three secondary distal branches 18, 19, 20 has an inflatable/collapsible balloon 21 with a proximal part 22 attached to relevant secondary branch and a distal part 23.
- the secondary distal branches can be the same or different in length, symmetric or asymmetric with respect to the main shaft 15. Also, the balloons can be the same or different from each other.
- the main shaft 15 of the tubular body of the catheter contains at least one insufflation lumen which branches and continues in each of the secondary distal branches 18, 19, 20 to deliver a inflating fluid into each of the balloons 21.
- a guide wire 24 can pass lengthways through each balloon 21 and either exit near the connector or depending on needs, from the distal part 23 of the balloon itself or from a relevant lumen in the body of the catheter.
- the guide wire can 24 exit from the relevant guide lumen through an opening 25 provided in the proximal part of the main shaft 15 of the body of the catheter - Fig. 1 and 4 - or through a lateral opening 26 provided in the corresponding secondary branch -Fig. 2.
- Each balloon 21 may be the same shape and have the same cross- section for its whole length as shown in the examples given in Fig. 1 -A. But, preferably and in order to make better use as referred above, the proximal part 22 of at least one balloon is narrowed, that is to say with a smaller cross- section in respect to the distal part 23.
- the narrowed proximal part 22 of the balloon can be in axis, aligned with the distal part and, when inflated, said narrowed part may have a cylindrical shape, as indicated in 27 in Fig. 5, or conical shape, as indicated in 28 in Fig. 6 or also semi-cylindrical shape as in Fig. 9.
- the narrowed proximal part 22 can also be off-centre, that is not aligned with the distal part as shown in 29 of Fig. 7.
- One or every balloon 21 can have a narrowed proximal part 30 with a cylindrical shape and a conical distal part 31 as shown in Fig. 8.
- the proximal parts 22 of the contiguous balloons may be enclosed in an external sheath or sleeve 32 as shown in Fig. 10.
- the sheath or sleeve 32 is made of a flexible or semi-flexible material, and has however limited and controlled expansion to contain the expansion of the proximal parts of the balloons and when dilated, the sheath or sleeve 32 fits snugly against the wall of the trunk of the vessel adjacent to the bifurcation, leaving the distal parts of the balloons free to adapt to the relevant secondary branches of the vessel. In other words, the sheath or sleeve 32 could have greater resistance to deformation than the vessel being treated.
- the catheter described above provided with at least two branches, each carrying a balloon, can also be used to introduce stents, that is to say, as a means of introducing, positioning and expanding stents in the case of stenosis in zones, ducts or vessels with bifurcations along the main vessel trunk.
- the stent may be placed on one or both the balloons and may be Y bifurcated with branches dividing on the distal parts of each balloon.
